String Group To Perform Jazz"Band .Count Basie and his orchestra with singer Joe Williams wil play for the Homecoming crowd 9 p.m. to 1 a.m., Saturday at the Intra- mural Building. Count Basie has been at the head of his band for fifteen years,. and during this time he has es-. tablished himself in the modern music world. He was 'discovered' in 1937 by Benny Goodman in Kansas City where he was leading his own band. Goodman put him under his own booming agent and Music Corporation of America. He made his New York debut a year later gaining the attention of the music world with his 'jump rhythm' - a new kind of music that is said to have revolutionized jazz.. When in 1939 Count Basie per- formed at Carnegie Hall, hiscon- cert started the trend of so-called 'jazz concerts.' The same year his 'One O'Clock Jump' swept the country and brought Basie into the musical limelight.. Count Basie made his first pic- ture, 'Reveille' With Beverly,' in 1942, in which Frank Sinatra made his debut on the screen. From then on, Basie was in wide demand from coast to coast, breaking theatre attendance ree- ords throughout the country. Basie and his orchestra received repeat engagements everywhere, proving his great drawing power. So many requests came in from the operators of smart small cafes all over the country, that Basie and his rhythm section formed a, small jazz combination in 1950, again breaking records from coast to coast. USED BIKES $10.00 The Stanley Quartet will open ,their current series of chamber music conerts at 8:30 p.m. today in Rackhan Lecture Hall.

TAKE FIVE-The brief breaks in a strenuous rehearsal schedule can be used for many things: a cigarette, a quick hem, a last-minute glance at the script. Here the cast and crew of "Horse Eats Hat" use their few minutes doing all these, as well as catching up on a bit of studying, or even, maybe, a little of that long-lost sleep. fX Plabil GVesComlex. Frce according to Information given The Varsity, to set Miss Bakker straight on Panhellenic policy. In Toronto the house president is not the representative to Pan-! hel, and thus- is not as acquainted with the "policies, official and unofficial" of this federation of sororities, The Varsity said. Representatives Speak At this meeting The Varsity re- ported, the representative to Pan' hel of Kappa Kappa Gamma in- formed Miss Bakker that "the, time was not ripe" to bring Miss Aerington into the fraternity. The representative seems to have said that "national unity" would be disrupted, because pre- sumably Southern chapters would .be affronted by the admission of a Negro. When the meeting was over, The Varsity said, Miss Bakker was "dispatched. to dissuade Barbara (Arrington) to come to the (rush- ing) teas." Deplores Situation AJzenstat in his editorial de- plores this situation because he saw a lack of local autonomy in these sorority chapters. "What is sad about the whole issue is that these girls are not bigots. They genuinely wanted Barbara to join one of their fra- ternities," he writes. "But when it was a matter of standing on what they themselves wanted and felt to be right, they could not do .it." Galls for Members AJzenstat then calls for the in- dividual members and rushees, if they are against official or unoffi- cial discrimination, to not sacri- fice these ideals for a concept of "national unity." According to The Varsity the fraternity's case for "national unity" seems to revolve around the importance of having a broth- erhood throughout the continent. Another Varsity'editorialist, FPeatures Editor,, David Lewis Stein, said, "Even more than the material benefits of the.fraternity, the sense of fellowship and a shared ideal of Christian ethics is vviid and real to the fraternity members. There is no doubt of their sincerity." Fear Alienation As a result, Stein says that the "Toronto .members do not wish to alienate their Southern brethren by taking a Negro member into their chapter. "They feel that if they did, the Southern chapters might secede from the national organization or the Toronto chapter might even be expelled." Stein felt that these fears were very real, and if there were no "uniform nembership qualifica- tions for all chapters of the fra- ternity - they would most cer- tainly take Negro members into the Toronto group," he was told. President Sends Letter In a letter to The Varsity, Helen O'Rourke, president of Delta Gamma and one of the presidents who encouraged Miss Arrington, said that Miss Bakker's action in dissuading her from rushing was done "without the consent of one fraternity, at least, that of Delta Gamma." In Miss O'Rorke's letter she did not say whether she was repre- senting herself or her sorority when she regretted the fact that Miss Arrington did not rush. Cohen To Talk On,Delinquents Albert Cohen, author of Delin- quent Boys, will lecture no delin- quent .behavior at 4:15 p.m. today in Aud. B of Angell Hall. This lecture is co-sponsored by the Student Government Council and the sociology department.

Describes Numbers Prof. Carduner described them as "little couplets that show the fun of it * not at all like oper- etta" even though some of the lyrics are by Gilbert. "'Horse Eats Hat' is a perfect period piece, and one of the best LaBiche plays," Prof. Carduner continued. It is exemplary of the French "Boulevard" theatre of the late nineteenth century which fostered the thesis plays, dealing with serious subjects and cham- pioning the bourgeois values and,' parallel to them, a comical type of theatre, of which LaBiche is the main representative. The plays of the "boulevard" were popular theatre, neither classical, literary or avant-garde; "everything important is outside of their realm," Prof. Carduner added. "The triumph of the mod- ern theatre was to make the boulevard less important." Move to Realism Strangely, the literary move- ment of the age was naturalism- and yet the theatre continued to avoid dealing with real and cru- cial problems, he said. "Zola wrote a review, of 'Horse Eats Hat'," Prof. Carduner re- called, "and he contended that al- though very funny, it was not what theatre should be."' "In a way LaBiche made fun of the bourgeoisie - but always very nicely, mildly enough to be ac- cepted.. He's ironic but never shakes the. foundations of so- ciety." Writes at End of Period LaBiche had little influence on future developments, writing as he did, at the end of a period and being associated with a certain type of society. His type of theatre died, Prof. Carduner noted, at the time of the first world war. "Horse Eats Hat" has generally- been played rapidly, and played almost like a ballet rather than a play, he continued, and this neces- sitates discovering the "exact rhythm" of the play's structure and effect is to be preserved. Discussing his production of the play, Prof. Halstead said he had gone further than the script in the script in~ the "direction of ab- surdities," adding, "sight-gags with six-fingered gloves, a left- handed piano and other freaks of 'Sell Tickets for Hillel Multi-colored lollipops went for "'2 Cents Plain" Monday, after- noon on the Diag to promote tick- et sales for Hillelzapoppin'.- On the basis of elimination of skits by reading scripts, the Judges of the Hillelzapoppin' show have narrowed down the number of group contestants to six.

He said that the cast was se- lected without regard to singing or dancing ability, beca 'se the musical numbers and dance ,steps. in the production are ornamental and subsidiary to the action of the farce." Because each of the play's fle acts requires a different setting, the scenery has been built in per- manent'units which will slide out to the stage, Ralph- W. Duckwall, scene designer said. With this "jack-knife method," everything needed on stage can be pre-set and rolled into place. "As the scenery must establish the mood and' atmosphere, so must the costume for each specific' actor denote the character he is playing, Elizabeth Birbari, cos- tumiere, asserted, and explained that for "Horse Eats Hat" primary sources were referred to since the play takes place in the 1830's, and prevailing styles and trends were adapted from the speech depart- ment's available supply of cos- tumes..
